BURLINGAME, Calif.

The girl is believed to have used a male student's online account
to send an email to school administrators that claimed he had a gun, a bomb
and to shut down the school, according to Burlingame police.

The school was put on lockdown at about 2 p.m. and the campus was
evacuated and searched, police said.

No explosives were located and the lockdown was lifted, police
said.

Officers detained the boy whose email account was used, and he
cooperated with police.

There were no weapons in his possession and based on his
statements to investigators, no arrest was made, police said.

A subsequent investigation led police to a female student who was
contacted and arrested today, police said.

The girl is believed to have used the boy's email account when he
logged on to a school computer and momentarily walked away from his
workstation on Friday, police said.

She was arrested for making criminal threats and falsely reporting
a bomb.

The suspect, whose identity was not released because she is a
juvenile, was released on bail, police said.
